Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The posting requires a TS/SCI with Polygraph — a hard gate that will significantly constrain the candidate pool.
Degree requirement: a Bachelor's in a technical discipline is listed under Basic Qualifications, but the JD explicitly states '4 additional years of experience may substitute for a degree,' so no minimum degree is flagged as a hard gate.
12+ years of DBA experience is the stated role-level minimum; the 4-year degree substitution effectively means 16+ years of experience can replace the degree.
Oracle OEM Cloud Control and DataGuard appear in the Primary Responsibilities section (not Preferred), so they are treated as required skills for this role.
All items under Preferred Qualifications (Red Hat Linux 7/8, Git, Puppet, VMware, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, NoSQL, schema design) are listed as preferred. Schema design and data modeling were omitted from the skills list as they name no specific tool.
No work location or CBSA is specified in the posting; given the national security / cleared nature of the role, it is likely on-site at a classified facility, but the location cannot be determined from the text.
The alt SOC 15-1243 (Database Architects) is noted because the role includes schema design, data modeling, and migration architecture work alongside core DBA operations.
Requires a TS/SCI clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
